I've been learning a lot since working at the raw food restaurant. When I first started into the raw food lifestyle, I encountered many confusing things. One of the biggest was soaking nuts. I hadn't heard of it before in my life, so it took a while to gather all the information I could in order to get my questions answered.

"Do you soak things on the counter at room temperature?"

"Does every kind of nut get soaked?"

"Do you keep them in the fridge?"

"How long do you soak almonds for?"

"I heard you don't soak pecans...?"

Anyway, you get it. I had a new qestion for every question, and for some reason, couldn't seem to get the full picture. That and sprouting seemed like a hella big deal.

Since starting my job in the Manufacturing Department 7 months ago, I've been soaking all kinds of nuts. Almonds for almond milk, or for dehydrating and go on to be used in granola bars

Who on Earth would eat this way?!?

I spent the long winter of 2007 feeling sad and depressed... and no wonder...eating junky foods and drinking a silly amount of beer, gaining a bunch of weight, and experiencing all sorts of physical and emotional manifestations of pain.
I was so ready for this life change!
After a long and dark 5 month period, something in me finally said ENOUGH, and that is just what I'd been 'dying' to hear.
Through support, determination, and a whole lot of reading and researching, I managed to transition painlessly into healthy living, returning to the (mostly) raw lifestyle I was enjoying before I rudely interrupted myself.
I've so quickly shed everything from asthma to anxiety, depression to joint pain...just by eating live, enzyme rich raw foods!
I am a firm believer in nutritional healing, and believe our bodies already possess everything we need for glowing health.
